Flavor: Black Caviar
Country: Russia
When Seen: December 2024
In a Bite: Salty, ocean-like taste, kind of like oysters.
In a Haiku:
Dark pearls of the deep,
Salty breath of icy seas,
Luxury in crunch.
Origin Story: The Lay’s Flavor Department decided that the only way to truly capture the essence of Russian opulence was to condense the taste of the Caspian Sea into a potato chip. By mimicking the sharp, ocean-like salinity of black caviar, they’ve created a snack that attempts to make the average consumer feel like they’re snacking in a gold-leafed dacha, all without having to actually deal with the logistics of chilling a tin of sturgeon roe.
